I am currently a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with primary research and teaching interests in european social and cultural history. My subfields are in women’s and gender history and global history. My dissertation explores French suburban high-rise communities between 1945 and 1975 with particular attention to the intersections of gender and housing policy. Inside and outside of the classroom, my hope is that historical research can play an important role in guiding contemporary conversations about how to best design institutions to help ordinary citizens lead good lives. My project has received generous support from the department of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Doris G. Quinn Foundation, the Center for European Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, the Council for European Studies at Columbia University, the Center for Social History of the 20th Century at the University of Paris, and the French Republic. At the introductory level, I am keen to teach western civilization, european women’s and gender history, gender, modern France and/or Germany, contemporary europe, and global history. I would welcome the opportunity to offer courses at any level on: suburbia, gender, race, and the european welfare state, home and family in modern europe, immigration in europe, and gender and feminist theory for historians.
